        "text": "Small areas of surface mold (less than 10 square feet) on non-porous surfaces may sometimes be cleaned by homeowners using appropriate safety gear and cleaning solutions. However, if the mold covers a larger area, is deeply embedded in porous materials like drywall or carpets, or if you have underlying health concerns, professional remediation is strongly advised. Mold that causes a strong smell often indicates a more significant or hidden problem that requires specialized equipment and expertise for safe and effective removal.",
